mr. g's amendment to be approved for that reason. i yield back. >> the chair yields to the gentleman from washington, five minutes. >> i just want to take one minute to emphasize the things that mr. andrews said. we're not trying to talk about whether we should protect the country but the proposal in the bill by mr. turner is to fund a system that currently isn't working in when fact there is a better alternative. this is up to $5 million to be spent on something that is not the best strategy. >> will the gentleman yield? >> let me just make the second point and then i will. second of all, i think it is worth efpl emphasizing you can see how politics enters into this when you translate a benign comment like we will have more flex account of some very detailed secret deal. it is precisely that political nonsense that the president was referring to and which we have seen on display again today when we ought to be working on the spwaps of the issue. and i'll be happy to yield to the gentleman from ohio. >> thank you, ranking member smith

the chair now recognizes the gentleman mr. g for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. it's been said by most everybody here that everyone on this committee shares a common goal of protecting the united states from a missile a take and any other attack. and i think that's really true. i don't think there's any doubt that we all share that mission. the question here in this amendment is how are we going to spend our money? are we going to spend it wisely in a way that would continue to allow the necessary research and development of a system that presently doesn't work very well and doesn't really have the capability to achieve its stated goal. instead of putting an extraordinary additional amount of money and appropriating it or making it available for appropriation, this amendment simply says cut it back, spend the money that you need to spend in the coming year to achieve the improvements that are necessary and the men and women in charge of the system say must be made before it is deployable. and reduce the expenditure but spend only what you need. that's what this a

as we saw with mr. g grinal. this was a gentleman who was hired and frozen out because some conservatives objected to his sexual orientation. that's not what we stand for in this country. >> ifill: mr. brown, is this become ago state fight or a federal fight? so many hot button issues have moved from federal fights and constitutional amendments to fights in individual legislatures. >> well, i think it continues to be a state fight. the question is really whether with all these state fights what the u.s. supreme court is going to do. it's important to remember that we have the perry case working its way up the united states supreme court which could be the roe versus wade on marriage. and the fact is that the people of this country time after time have opposed redefining marriage. it's important for the people to continue to protect marriage on the state level, to ensure that the u.s. supreme court doesn't do... make some sort of radical decision imposing same sex marriage on an electorate that doesn't want it. >>

>> first, mr. g. garrett the suggest we rushed things through two years ago i think we have dozens of roll calls, meetings. i gather you have some concerns about your own vote spent never concerned about my own vote. but concerned about legislation being dropped in at 3:00 in the morning and a conference committee that we did not have any hearings on. >> we had -- >> that's not the debate we're having here spent i understand you don't want to talk your vote against the -- spent i only like to discuss what we're supposed to be discussing it and not the way things are held in the past. spent i will answer your question. the constitutionality of my -- what is says in the constitution that important government officer should be appointed by the president and confirmed by the senator voted on monetary policy is in disputed an important public policy, and ought to be executed by public officers in a constitutional manner. >> for the last word, do you care to chime in? >> we have through history contracted t

g. and mr pena give us your live on r.t. international thanks but on the program it's kevin owen here talking to you tonight so i guess the big question is it all over as you see it all hopes for a coalition go on. well there are still in negotiations and there's also modest forms of luck made from the part of the so-called stroy of the european union the international monetary fund and the european central bank. that. there's going this is the danger or by default if a government is knox. and the same time greece went through a political as quick in last election and austerity policies where totally rejected in what has been the biggest loss of mainstream parties in recent history so that's the problem or the on hand both the greek political establishment and the european union want a continuation of the stare at it at the same time it's not possible to actually have a legitimate and legitimized government that would continue austerity that's the real cuts so new elections aren't going to solve the problem they're going to

seen in the united states the big deal that didn't didn't come to the g eight i think there were some eyebrows raised because mr obama expected to put in the obama administration invited. the middle of the rich to visit the united states maybe a year and a half even before and expected him to come. unfortunately president bush was too busy. as he told president obama. selecting his cabinet. and instead the prime minister who normally presents a cabinet to the president went to the united states prime minister media age of has a good relationship with the but i could bomb of the met last year they had burgers together etc so there is a relationship there how late it had burgers in center and quality time yes. but i would say that g. eight normally is a meeting of heads of state of the eight largest economies and we have a very difficult economic situation in the world maybe mr putin was anxious that the europeans will be asking for loans from russia he didn't want to give them loans i'm speculating i'm not being serious right now but the fact that the first major foreign visit of mr putin is going to be to china

president obama held his first meeting with the new french president ahead of this weekend's g-8 summit at camp david and mrobama got some bad fuse. francois hollande said he plans to pull out all 3,000 french combat troops out of afghanistan by the end of this year. that's two years ahead of schedule. president obama will ask nato leaders to contribute more than a billion dollars for afghan security when they meet in chicago on sunday. that may be a hard sell because of dissatisfaction with afghan president hamid karzai ham and the corruption in his government. allen pizzey in kabul has more on that. >> reporter: from a traffic cop caught on surveillance video taking a bribe to government cronies accused of looting nearly a billion dollars from the country's biggest bank, corruption is rife in afghanistan. it even has its own language. traffic cops prod drivers for bribes by asking "is there a scorpion in your pocket?" a high level official will ask for long hairs, a reference to benjamin franklin's hair style. >> it starts from the street and it goes to the palace. but it is not what afghan people want. >
